Conjunctions are connecting words. Coordinating conjunctions (like and, but, and or) join equal parts of a sentence together. Subordinating conjunctions (like because, if, and since) connect a main clause to a dependent clause that cannot stand alone. For example, in the sentence 'We stayed inside because it was raining, but we still had fun,' because is a subordinating conjunction and but is a coordinating conjunction.
